UM, EW. WILLIAM SHATNER SELLS HIS KIDNEY STONE.

I love that William Shatner, what a fun guy. He just sold a kidney stone he passed last fall to the online casino GoldenPalace.com for $25,000. The money he made will be going to the charity Habitat for Humanity. According to Access Hollywood, along with the kidney stone, GoldenPalace.com will receive "the surgical stint and string used to permit passage of the stone" and Shatner has said the stone was so big "you'd want to wear it on your finger. "If you subjected it to extreme heat, it might turn out to be a diamond." When GoldenPalace.com tried to buy the stone from Shatner for a mere $15,000, Shatner refused saying that the "Star Trek" tunics have commanded more than $100,000." Beautiful.

I agree in the "Ew"-factor.

Got 25k lying around? How about a half-share of Bershire Hathaway stock??

But can we use the stone to convert anti-matter into warp sustainable energy?
