Ted Williams - Tramp with the golden radio voice
A FORMER radio presenter who lives on the streets has become an internet sensation after millions logged on to listen to his silky tones
Ted Williams, a former drug and booze addict, carries a cardboard sign touting his "God-given gift of a voice".
The bedraggled looking tramp was filmed demonstrating his dulcet tones last month and the video was put online.
Since then it has gone viral and radio stations and voiceover agencies have scrambled to locate him.
Tony Florentino, programme director of WNCI radio in New York, said: "We're on pins and needles, I think he really has no idea how big this is going to be."
Ted is set to appear on WNCI tomorrow morning and is expected to be offered Ł7,000 for future voiceover work.
ABC, CBS and CNN, ESPN and MTV are also said to be trying to bag appearances from him.
In the video, Ted, from Brooklyn, New York, says of his voice: "He said to me: 'I can't be an actor; I can't be an on-air (television) personality'.
"The voice became something of a development."
Ted said he attended broadcasting school and did temping shifts at a New York radio station, before drugs and alcohol ruined his career.
But he added: "I'm trying hard to get it back."

New Gadget Fills Beer Cups From the Bottom
Pouring beer is an art. When filling a glass from the tap, it takes skill to know just what angle to hold the glass at to prevent too much foam, and just where to stop filling to ensure the beer comes as close to the top as possible without spilling over. It’s a bit like getting the perfect pump at a gas station, only far tastier.
This remarkable device is set to start a revolution in how beers are poured, especially at public events like football games. Rather than having one person in charge of filling one cup at a time, and having to take the time to ensure the customer is getting enough beer and not a cup of foam, this invention allows the vendor to casually fill four cups at a time. This is Bottoms Up, a brilliant invention by GrinOn Industries that’s sure to be a hit.
The vendor places the cups on this mechanism and, like magic, the cups fill from below until stopping just a little below the rim: plenty of beer, little foam, no spillage. That’s amazing by itself, but seeing just how fast one can serve multiple beers using this rather than a typical tap is mind-boggling.
The big question, of course, is how it works. You can see from the video that the cups seem to lock into their respective slots before being filled with their payload. There’s a magnet located in the bottom of the cup that can be pushed upward, and falls back into a slot on the bottom when released. When pushed up, the nozzle below fills it with beer. When removed, the magnet bonds to its slot at the bottom of the cup, preventing the beer from escaping. Of course, one imagines that these cups will cost more than your standard cheap-o plastic cup. The neat thing that they’ve done to counter this is to use the removable magnet as a form of advertising; it can be used just like a normal refrigerator magnet and can have a logo or text advertising just about anything, that money serving to cover some of the extra overhead for the special cups.

Riding without hands can be a fun and exciting thing to do, but it can also be dangerous if you don't practice and stay alert!

Shaquille O'Neall Conduct The Boston Pops
Shaquille O'Neal has done a lot of wacky things throughout his career, from attempting to rap to starring in the abomination known as Kazaam.
But Shaq, the music conductor? You betcha.
Last night at Boston's Symphony Hall, the Boston Celtic donned his finest black and white tuxedo and made his "conducting debut."
O'Neal led the Boston Pops Orchestra and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus in "Sleigh Ride" at the Holiday Pops Concert.
I gotta admit, this was much better than anything we saw when Shaq played a genie.
You can tell he's about 0.03 seconds from busting out laughing while he's conducting the orchestra.
