William Shatner (Captain Kirk) Sells His Kidney Stone
William Shatner may not have passed a milestone when he passed a kidney stone, but the actor was able to turn stone into gold.
Shatner went where no man has gone before, selling his kidney stone for $25,000 to Golden Palace.com, with the money going to a housing charity.
GoldenPalace.com is noted for its collection of strange items, which includes a cheese sandwich containing the image of the Virgin Mary.
I hope Shatner's wife makes sure Shatner promptly flushes the toilet, we wouldn't want him to get any crazy ideas.
William Shatner's hammy mode of acting is so over the top -- it's impossible to resist poking fun at him. Everyone and their mother has a Shatner impression, but I doubt anyone will be doing an impression of Shatner passing a stone "so large you'd want to wear it on your finger."
What's more surprising than Captain Kirk selling his kidney stone for oodles of money? Believe it or not, Shatner has received two Emmys for playing the egotistical attorney Denny Crane: one when the character was introduced on "The Practice" and the second for reprising the role on "Boston Legal."
The 74-year old actor has outlived his usefulness, I don't condone euthanasia, but I hope that he is chased by a horde of aliens with their phasers set on "obliterate".
