William Shatner Passes Kidney Stone Off to GoldenPalace.com for $25,000

Popular Internet Casino & Poker Room Benefiting Habitat for Humanity

NEW YORK, Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Captain's log: Star date: 011806. William Shatner has gone where no man has gone before. He's sold a part of himself to online casino Goldenpalace.com for $25,000 to benefit habitat for humanity.

The former captain of the Enterprise passed a kidney stone at warp speed and beamed it into the waiting hands of GoldenPalace.com. The casino paid $25,000 for Shatner's specimen, the entirety of which will go to habitat for humanity to help provide housing for those in need.

Although the kidney stone that broke down Shatner's shields caused him more discomfort than a Klingon Pain Stick, the sci-fi/pop-culture icon is more than happy that his calcium offspring fetched such a price.
