Sculptor Spends 2 Years To Build Knife Angel Out Of 100,000 Weapons
There’s a giant 26-foot-tall Knife Angel sculpture in the UK, built
entirely out of 100,000 donated knives. But besides the impressive

remember the victims fallen to the increasing knife violence in the
United Kingdom and to finally acknowledge that there is a real problem.

I want Terry Crews and Vin Diesel to do a buddy cop movie where they are both secret nerds but they don’t want the other to know. Like Vin Diesel plays D & D on weekends and Terry likes to create epic crossover fan art. Somehow they have to work undercover at Comic Con and for what ever reason I need Daniel Radcliffe to be the villain.
I’d like to add: not a character played by Dan Radcliffe. Dan Radcliffe, appearing as himself.
no, no wait… I want Elijah Wood to play Daniel Radcliffe.
Elijah Wood plays Daniel Radcliffe and his evil sidekick is Elijah Wood played by Daniel Radcliffe
