Bible Myths?

A new book is gaining in popularity: Shocked by The Bible by Joe Kovacs. Here's a WorldNet Daily article about it: Hear the sound of Bible myths shattering. An article quote about some of the myths being exposed:
Just a few of the issues explored include:
  • The Bible doesn't say Jesus died on a Friday or rose at sunrise Sunday morning
  • The practice of decorating a tree with silver and gold is actually condemned by God
  • God never said "Let Me make man in My image"
  • "Easter" has vanished from the Bible, yet many Christians still revere the name of that ancient fertility goddess as something holy
  • God sought to kill Moses
  • Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were not Jews
  • There were not just two of each animal aboard Noah's Ark
  • The Bible doesn't say Noah's Ark landed on "Mount Ararat"
  • Jesus did not come to make everyone understand His message

The book even delves into "lighter" facts that just never seem to be brought up in church.

Did you know ...

  • God ran lotteries
  • Nagging wives are mentioned in Scripture
  • Women's breasts are celebrated in the Bible
  • There's a character in the Bible called a "dumb ass"
  • Underwear didn't disintegrate despite 40 years of heavy use
  • The worst case of hemorrhoids in history is recorded
Though I knew about women's breasts being celebrated (in Proverbs), I didn't know about the worst case of hemorrhoids. A little help? I haven't seen the book.
