I should just add something for Smashing Magazine headlines that strips off the initial number+adjective.

Damn, I was hoping this meant: Receive checks ($$) before you even launch your website!

Can you just add something that kills all headlines that have an initial number+adjective?

I'd really hate for HN to become http://delicious.com/popular.
