Build your own theme and take them out. It really is quite easy to 
remove the php code that loads them up. Take a look at this plugin:
<http://guff.szub.net/2005/01/27/get-a-post/>

This plugin ensures the site can be used as a cms. I've been building a 
site for a client where he wants each page to have three different 
posts in. He wants to sell information from the site. I therefore used 
the above plugin to place content where he wanted. I then build 
templates for each page and assigned the templates to the pages. 
Currently building the plugin so that he can sell the information.

Contact me off-list if you want anymore help. I really believe wp is 
the way to go. It is very easy to use.

Hope that helps.
