OK this article is just silly, Golden PalaceCasino paying $25,000 for William Shatner’s kidney stone. Yes, I have always said, the way to have more money is to make more money (although I think William Shatner is not going to be seen homeless on the street in the near future (unless he can make a buck doing it)), but this is bordering on the absurd.

Now, I am not knocking Mr. Shatner, being a former Montrealer, and having worked at Stratford in his younger days, for making a buck off his own pain (and given what I have heard about kidney stones, Golden Palace may not have paid enough for it), I am however curious as to what kind of investment Golden Palace is making here? Are they attempting to start a whole new market for Celebrity Memerobilia? I know Elvis’ sweat is highly valued, but William Shatner’s kidney stone? Hmmm….

If you can figure out a way to sell useless things like your toe nail clipping, kidney stones, or hair that you have found in your sink drain, please go ahead! More income with the same debt load, is a good thing (even if it is, kind of a disgusting way of making money).

Hey, I just found a scab that fell off, I’M RICH!!!!!
