THE ACTOR who played Captain Kirk on the popular telly show Star Trek, William Shatner, has just passed a kidney stone and plans to flog it on eBay.

The actor says that the stone will become the “ultimate piece of Star Trek memorabilia” and he will flog it for charity.

The 74-year-old actor was taken from the set Boston Legal last month, suffering from what was initially reported to be chronic back pain, which turned out to be a kidney stone.

Captain Kirk has apparently been filling in as a lawyer between his dutys saving the universe thus proving the idea that good must entirely be balanced by evil.

But Shatner has since revealed he had a kidney stone, which he successfully passed after experiencing excruciating pain.

However, he might have a bit of problem making the sale through eBay. The outfit has strict rules about the sale of body parts, even for charity.

Do you think the move was justified?
