Any kind of mechanism (and sails are one) can be considered as a "machine", even if it's a not a "machine" as we usually understand it. No offense, but it's your comment that was stupid. :erg:

If I got it wrong, then sorry, Im sure you all lost sleep over this. I really dont know if I can continue living with this on my concious(again with the sarcasm, I apologise for having a sense of humour)
As for sails, That was the point I was tryin to make, I said they were stupid to make light of the fact that alot of people would reply saying 'Sails arnt machines' or something like that.
