After winning the right to name a new species of monkey after itself and making the final bid on eBay to win a grilled cheese sandwich that has the likeness of the Virgin Mary, the Associated Press reports that GoldenPalace.com--an online casino--recently purchased a kidney stone that William Shatner passed last year. Shatner received $25,000 for the stone, and has promised to donate the money to Habitat for Humanity.

We're just happy to have found a news story involving casinos and charity that includes no reference to Jack Abramoff.
