I managed to save an item that has an epically long slug, but now I can't perform CRUD on it via a browser due to ...

```
Request-URI Too Large

WEBrick::HTTPStatus::RequestURITooLarge
WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.9.2/2011-07-09) at macbook.local:3000
```

What would be the best way to limit the slug's length. Why are they called slugs anyway, yuck.
