Let us compare mythologies and movies

And the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics practically guarantees that this will happen.

Wild speculation? I typed ~ into Google and nothing happened. Nothing! I almost typed ~~, but thankfully did not - we all may not be here if I did.

I hope that you reconsider your choice.

You have only made me more convinced! "~" clearly represents the dynamic feminine archetype, a necessary counterbalance to the stagnation of the static masculine ".", the aggressive dynamic masculine "?", and the static feminine degree sign (which my keyboard lacks; making me feel like a motherless child...), and all the more necessary in the unfairly static, musty and patriarchical atmosphere that has been erroneously asssociated with "mythology". That "vibration" is a creative force, without which motion, time, space and life could not exist.
I wonder, Alatar, if your unease about my unpredictable "~" has anything to do with your earlier implication that I could be the destructive being which appeared in your dream...

By the way, Google is overrated!

It's not on my keyboard either, but Google does provide the answer...

That 'vibration' would be quantum mechanics or a very bad hard drive in the computer on your desk; I wonder just how many times you need to type your beloved tilda before you reboot time, space and life as we know it.

Please continue to implicate yourself...conscience getting the best of you perhaps? (typical behaviour for tildaphiles - commit the crime on the downswing then 'fess up when curving positively).
