Nah. Even New Yorkers know about NJ.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Do tefilin get ruined if left in a freezing car or that a myth?
It depends on the ink. In the cold everything shrinks, however the parchment and ink shrink at different speeds. When it warms up again, the parchment and ink expand again, at their own speeds. This won't for sure make the ink crack, but it sure helps. Especially if it gets warmed and cooled a lot. Think bending a plastic cc back and forth, it will most probably snap at some stage.
There is an ink called דיו לנצח (dio lanetzach) which has more elasticity and would react more like a rubber band being stretched and released, and would therefore not crack.
I don't sin, I give myself opportunities to repent.

that reminds me of when gay marriage was legalized and tons of people said they're moving to Canada (where gay marriage has been legal since 2005)

Always thought it works that way but the gemara gitin 31a says the opposite, that things shrink in the heat.
