And future superbowls & olympics: XXX, XXXI, etc.

What if any of these appear in URLs?:
sclerotic
denude
bisexual
Essex
heterosexual
homosexual
Middlesex
Sextans
sextet
sextic
sextillion
sexton
sextuple
sextuplet
sexual
Sussex
unisex

One would imagine that an adult education course in Essex would have to
choose their URLs very carefully...

Be aware of the minefield you're walking into when you start down the
url_regexp path.

Cheers,
Marty.
