Shatner sells kidney stone
William Shatner has sold his kidney stone for £14,000 to an online casino.
The Star Trek actor agreed to sell it to GoldenPalace.com to raise
money for a housing charity, says the BBC.
Shatner, 74, said: "This takes organ donors to a new height, to a new
low, maybe. How much is a piece of me worth?"
Shatner passed the stone last autumn but persuaded doctors to return
it so he could offer it for auction.
GoldenPalace.com originally offered £8,500 but the actor turned it
down, noting that his Star Trek tunics have sold for more than £50,000.
"This is a bold new addition to our fleet," GoldenPalace.com chief
executive officer Richard Rowe said.
The website has a bizarre range of collectables, including a toasted
cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary.
