BLECH. How utterly gross is this?

Actor William Shatner has sold his kidney stone for $25,000, with the money going to a housing charity, it was announced Tuesday.

Shatner reached agreement Monday to sell the stone to GoldenPalace.com.

"This takes organ donors to a new height, to a new low, maybe. How much is a piece of me worth?" he said in a telephone interview.

funny thing was he had already promised to give his kidney stone to Jimmy Kimmel when he appeared on his show a week or two earlier.

Ewwww.  I'm sure Jimmy Kimmel is crushed.

I wish Shatner would just go away.[/DIV]He's like Paris Hilton but only a man.

I've never cared for him much, until I started watching Boston Legal.   GREAT show.

[Sportsdude]

I hate the way he talks.

Have you ever watched Boston Legal
