The lying down game

One interesting side effect of the internet in general and social networks in particular, is the way it has revolutionized the organization of events. Sometimes these tools birth phenomena that seem epic in their very pointlessness. Allow me to introduce you to the relatively harmless fun to be had in playing the lying down game, an Facebook inspired activity that has enjoyed media exposure on the BBC and in newspapers across the globe. It's very simple. Have yourself photographed lying down in a public place. This group's gallery has over 15,000 photographs in its gallery already, of members who did just that. Post news of your latest pictures on the wall. Or use the discussion board to network with other members in your area.

What's great about this group: It's harmless fun in a uniquely Facebook way.

A word of caution: Participation will involve sacrificing a little of your dignity. The group carries a disclaimer that members play the game at their own risk

Update (12 April 2024) 

There are at least four groups that go by this name. The largest (and possibly the original) group seems to be this one, which has 1.1k, members.
