[Groop] Maybe a rare opportunity

[Chris Schechner]

William Shatner is hoping to persuade medics who removed his kidney stone to
hand it over so he can sell it on auction site eBay. The actor, who played
Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek, claims the stone will become "the
ultimate piece of Star Trek memorabilia." Shatner plans to give the proceeds
of the sale to charity, but he has to cut through eBay red tape first - the
website's rules are strict about the sale of body parts. The 74-year-old
actor was taken from the set of his hit TV show Boston Legal last month,
suffering from what was initially reported to be chronic back pain. But
Shatner has since revealed he had a kidney stone, which he successfully
passed after experiencing excruciating pain.
