# produces urls like /monkeys/3-your-keywords
#
# works for SEO, while maintaining all the benifits of a solid numeric  
ID
# plus points for SEO... if the keywords are changed, 302 redirects  
will automatically
# move the client to the right page.... solving the duplicate content  
issue or
# 404 errors after fixing a typo in a 'slug'
#
# controller code should be untouched
