I remember yesterday when I was watching the American Idol, there was this sister who pranked for her sister when she was performing on stage. I could not understand what pranking had to do with the performance. Could someone please explain to me what do people gain from pranking.

What kind of prank did she do for her sister? Are you really talking about "pranking" or "planking"?

Sorry, I meant planking not pranking. She lied down on the floor until her sister was through with the performance. What is the significant of planking anyway? I know people do planking but what do they gain?

Lol. I don't get those maniacs either. I watched a documentary about planking before and the enthusiasts says that they can express their feelings through planking. I don't have a bit of idea how feelings can be expressed by lying down on the ground but hey, if they are happy on what they are doing and as long as no one gets hurt, fine, plank all you want. :)

I haven't thought about it until I read your guestion. I do not know. We do it just for fun. There is nothing meen about it. Tha prank you mentioned might have been a bad one. A good prank is harmless.

If it is for fun then I think I can understand it. I just could not think of a reason why people do it.

If no one had first responded to your topic, I would've really thought it was pranking. I didn't catch that episode of American Idol where a sister did some planking. Actually, I have no idea what's all the fuss about this planking craze. Personally, I think it just epitomizes laziness.

I do not know whether you have it in India or not. It is the American Idol; a singing talent show.
