NBC News projects that more voters chose not to pick a candidate at all than back Haley. Trump was not on the ballot, since he's participating in Thursday's caucus instead.
More likely the D&D/fantasy version. Harry Potter called them “horcruxes”. Keep your soul in a box and whatever happens to your body, you can’t truly die.
But I didn’t know they were based on Jewish mythology, so thanks for that TIL!
I’m not sure that the phylactery in D&D is based on Jewish practices. The word comes from Latin and referred to something sacred/guarded and could be a place or even an amulet.
The term is being used appropriately in D&D and Jewish peoples also use it for their beliefs. Another guy posted he might stop using it because of the Jewish connotations, which that’s totally up to them but I don’t think it’s exclusive.
Then again, perhaps Latin created a word from seeing Jewish practices. I don’t know. I’m just a dude on the internet.
Trump has a phylactery in every golf course.
No cheeseburger can slay him.
“A small leather box containing Hebrew texts on vellum, worn by Jewish men at morning prayer as a reminder to keep the law.”

Ditto, I had no idea. I knew them as the thing you had to find to defeat a lich in D&D.
Sounds like it’s an insensitive term so I’ll try to stop using it that way.
