If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

Although this list includes Michael Jordan and Jesus, for some reason, I am not profoundly inspired. I feel my time has been wasted.

I was.

James Joyce not being a writer till 32? The man wrote the "best" novel of all time.

Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky in three days? Hot damn, perhaps my own situation isn't so bad.
