picture taken, which they then upload onto a social networking site.<\/p>\n<p>Those who find the most bizarre place will often get the most recognition.<\/p>\n<p>Now a new craze has sprung up, which sees individuals stretching their bodies out and leaning on or around the toilet bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Dubbed plumbking, the range of shots on the web showcase the dexterity of those who have decided to take part.<\/p>\n<p>One photo shows a man completely upside down with his head in the can, while another sees a lady balance between the rim and a wall.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen what the latest off-shoot of this fad will be, but judging by some of the shots of people in their bathrooms, no place seems to be off limits.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\"
