Well, my rabbi chuckled as we discussed this in my orientation class.  Also
the Jews have a host of legends based on the Bible that made me laugh.

For example, Abraham in one legend is a sort of an ancient Superman: with
every step he takes, he covers seven leagues, and he has the strength of
several lions, boars, and oxen, etc., etc.  I had to laugh when I read it.
Kinda reminded me our Marvel supercomics.
