Was the Book of Jehu left out of the Biblical canon because St. Augustine thought it was written by a penguin?

I read that somewhere, and I was just wondering if it was true.

James: I think so. Didn't he say it was a metaphor for the entire history of Christianity (or something along those lines)?

I've heard stranger things from Christianity.

Have you ever read Augustine's explanation of the parable of the Good Samaritan?

Sounds reasonable to me. I am sure St Augustine could never match the logic of a penguin.
