Plank

Plank, also known as The 2x4, Hunk of Wood, Splinter the Wonderwood, Termite Food and Timber the Dark Shard, is a character from the Ed, Edd n Eddy series.
== Charactah Account ==
Jonny's companion cube... erm, wood. While he has no speaking role in the show, he often acts with the characters as if he was alive. 
Plank has been Jonny's best friend since he was a toddler. Plank speaks and expresses himself through Jonny, with Jonny saying "Plank says..." whenever Plank wants to say something to someone other than Jonny, and moves around by having Jonny carry him around (however, in the episode "All Eds Are Off," he is seen moving throughout the school campus without Jonny's assistance).
Despite being an inanimate object he seems to have a personality and mind. There are several instances where Plank shown signs of a having his own mind and personality. For example, in the episode "Gimme, Gimme Never Ed," Jonny reveals he receives an allowance and manipulates the Eds to ride their death-defying (and poorly constructed) ride, Requiem for a Whiplash for five dollars, despite Jonny's warning that Plank is just looking for kicks. Another instance of him showing signs of having a mind is in the episode "Dear Ed," where Jonny and Plank break their friendship due to an unseen argument which happened before the episode started. In the episode "Tinker Ed," he is seen reading the book, Mind Control for Pre-Pubescents in the school library as Jonny sits beside him, looking like a mindless dolt. He is generally accepted as a living being by the kids and the Eds (save for Eddy, who dismisses him as a piece of lumber). The Kankers, on the other hand, see him as a backscratcher and have used him as such on a few occasions. Plank is usually seen hanging out with the kids (only if Jonny is present) and is often, if not always, seen nearby or with Jonny.

== Trivia ==
* There are 13 different characters that are imaginary friends in the show besides Plank: Bob, Salty Sam, Sawtooth Cecil, Plank's mother, Plank's father, and seven wooden toughs Plank knows somehow.
** Also, many fake imaginary friends the Eds made are seen in "Dear Ed."
* In the game Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall, while Plank isn't in the game, there are a pair of giant replicas of Plank guarding the Fort and serving as its entrance. You also have to make a Fusion Plank so you can enter Fusion Edd's secret lair for the second battle against him.
* Ed seems to (at times) see Plank as a genuine living being, making him the only person besides Jonny to do so. However, this is most likely due to Ed's overactive imagination, as in "Gimme, Gimme Never Ed," he claims that Plank shouldn't speak, as he wouldn't hear him anyway.
* Plank may be made of elm wood, as referenced in My Best Friend Plank.
* He is a member of the Urban Rangers, along with Rolf, Jonny, and Jimmy.
* On his ID in the Invaded special, it says he is an Expert in Chinese Literature. This may be a reference to "For Your Ed Only" where Jonny and Plank end up going so far into Earth, they come out in China.
* It is known that Plank (and Jonny) hates broccoli as revealed in "Will Work for Ed."
* Plank made a live guest appearance (using the Plank from the Plank Family Players) on Cartoon Network Fridays on July 29, 2005.
* In an episode of Two and a Half Men ("The Price of Healthy Gums Is Eternal Vigilance"), a Plank plush toy can be seen on Jake's bed.
* In the Robot Chicken episode "3 2 1 2 333, 222, 3...66?," Plank appears in a segment called "Plank the College Years."
* Plank appeared among the Cartoon Network characters in a video posted by Turner Broadcasting celebrating Cartoon Network's 25th birthday (he can be found in the "5" between Chowder and Johnny Bravo).
* Plank appeared on a poster for "Plank Live" in the Villainous pilot episode "The Dreadful Dawn".
* Apparently, Jonny was somehow able to be tutored by Plank, as stated in the episode "Mission Ed-Possible."
* Plank is vulnerable to water and swells up when he comes in contact with it. However, in "Quick Shot Ed," he is seen having a bath with Jonny.
* The creators originally intended for Plank to be sentient. Danny Antonucci, however, responded with "It's just a piece of wood."
