I just saw this on a San Antonio TV station's website. I wonder what's next -- or do we really want to know?
William Shatner Kidney Stone Rakes In $25K For Charity
POSTED: 7:22 pm CST January 17, 2006
LOS ANGELES -- An online casino has a piece of Captain Kirk.
Actor William Shatner has sold his kidney stone for $25,000 to GoldenPalace.com, which is known for its collection of oddities.
Shatner said this "takes organ donors to a new height, to a new low, maybe." But the money is going to charity.
Shatner, who played Kirk on the original "Star Trek" television show and won an Emmy for his role on "Boston Legal," passed the stone last fall.
The actor said the idea of selling it came up after "Boston Legal" raised $20,000 for Habitat for Humanity.
Shatner said the sale means enough funding to build half a house.
