Option to hide all tooltips

Have two nice menus working well w/site. Problem I'm having now is that the popup tooltips are just annoying screen clutter... and sometimes make navigation confusing. But I have alot of them. I've been looking for a way to get rid of them all via database or css, but have discovered that the contents of the "description" field are not actually stored in a field in the DB... well, not their own field. They are nested in an array in the options field in menu_links.

I have no idea how to extract those descriptions from the options field without making a mess.

So... I wonder if others have this problem and there would be interest in a Nice Menus feature to disable the tooltips.
