We all know the story of how Eve was created from Adam's rib. But what if, perhaps, "rib" was a mistranslation...and the body part she was 'really' created from was Adam's penis-bone? It would certainly explain why human males don't have one, wouldn't it? In "The Uncensored Bible", readers will learn, along with Adam's "bone", that mandrake was the Biblical equivalent of Viagra, Cain wasn't a murderer, just depressed and needed Prozac, God hits below the belt (at least when it comes to Jacob), and other fun Biblical twists.
