Captain Kirk sells kidney stone for $25k

William Shatner sold a kidney stone for $25,000 to GoldenPalace.com. Shatner's donating the dough to Habitat For Humanity. From the Associated Press:

The stone was so big, Shatner said, "you'd want to wear it on your finger."

"If you subjected it to extreme heat, it might turn out to be a diamond," he added...

GoldenPalace.com originally offered $15,000 for the stone but Shatner turned it down, noting that his "Star Trek" tunics have commanded more than $100,000.
