 ACHILLES’ TUMULUS OR BURIAL MOUND IN THE ALBA (white) ISLAND (LEUCE)
Finally, as shown by the survey done by Russian officers in 1823, the circumference of this island was at that time 1km.
Leuce Island, from the mouths of the Danube, had therefore two epochs of cult and renown:
The first was before the fall of Troy, when this island had been the cradle of the primitive religion of Apollo, from which epoch derives also its name of Leuce or Alba.

To some of the people who come to this island, Achilles appears in dreams, to others he would appear even during their navigation, if they were not too far away, and would instruct them as to which part of the island they would better anchor their ships” (Periplus, Ponti euxini, 32, 33).
The heroic cult of Achilles in Leuce island was widespread in Graeco – Roman antiquity, not only in the big commercial centers of the Black Sea, but even in different ports and maritime cities of the Archipelagos and the Adriatic Sea, whose economic interests were tightly connected to the riches of the Black Sea.
From all this, and especially from Arctinos’ account, from the precise information transmitted by Pliny and Mela, and finally, from the sacred cult of Achilles in Leuce Island, results in a wholly convincing way, that the ashes of this great hero of the Trojan times were brought to and laid in Leuce Island.

 Writing.Com: Persephone (Chapter 7 - Chapter x)
I haven’t forgotten that Leuce was a mute, and the only way he communicated was with his hands and lip reading.
Leuce had anticipated my antiques of showing off in swordsmanship; he had charged forward and swung his sword sideways, trying to cleave me from the waist down.
In the confusion state, I didn’t realize Leuce had regained his footing and was charging straight into me. Struggling with the state of my mind, battling between hunger and consciousness, I reacted far too late at Leuce’s advance.

 unity?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
No, Leuce, no. Simply consider the unity that exists between the Father and the Son: Jesus tells us that is to be our model.
Christ explicitly states that visible unity would be a powerful testimony to the world, so I would not agree with Leuce in doubting that that was a reason Jesus wanted it.
If we agree that there are some doctrines which are foundational and fundamental to the Christian faith, which all Christians share, then we will see that there are others which are secondary, and not essential to salvation.

Come on leuce.  This stuff is self-evidently offensive and nobody needs me to spell out why.  Mr G N Charmley  fully admitted that he set out to offend, “all in fun”.
You make vague statements and I can understand why.  But try to understand why I call them "vague" and be more specific in your offence-taking.
However, I agree (and confess) that perhaps humour should be reserved for a humour subboard.  In fact, I think we should have a separate thread or even a separate subboard for jokes and rule that jokes should only be posted there.
