1002 - The Tilde Rebellion (lazy monks wanted a shorter way to copy parchments - LOL) 1844 - The Cincinnati Tilde Skirmish (Cincinnati Pete accused of selling pirated tildes; his gang shot up the town and, accidentally, Pete) 2014 - The Great Tilde Heist (2.4 million tildes were stolen from a old printing museum; still no arrests despite the $500,000 reward)
