Auctioning off somebody's kidney stone? For $25,000? Give me a break! I don't care if it's for a good cause or not, it's daft!
What's next? Somebody's "remains" from a toilet bowl?
Quote:William Shatner's kidney stone fetches top dollar
BY PHILIP POTEMPA

William Shatner is always eager to reach out to his fans.
Earlier this spring, he passed a kidney stone, which late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel described as "the ultimate Star Trek Collectible."
After seeing Kimmel's enthusiasm about the subject, Shatner auctioned it off for $25,000 to donate to charity.
Now, publicist Josh Silberstein tells me the William Shatner DVD Club and
www.startrek.com is holding a free random drawing contest at
www.shatnerdvdclub.com this month and the prize will be Shatner using his famous voice to record a personalized outgoing message on some lucky fan's answering machine. You must sign up at the Web site by Aug. 31.
I didn't know that Intrepid had this kind of money.
He should hold onto his stools! He could make good money off those every day!
I guess if one waits around long enough, an idiot will come by and buy anything!
I would if Shatner gave this up himself, or it was slipped away unknowingly?
I'm sure his urine would fetch a much smaller price tag because it is so abundant.
And here was me thinking that you would make mention of the "other end of business" and being "full of it".
