Common SEO mythology is that you need pretty human-understandable
links. (In point of fact, the search engines care not in the least.)
However, human-understandable URLs are a benefit to users when they want
to understand what they're linking to or clicking on.

A human-understandable link is more like:

    http://www.example.com/blog/2013-05-a-day-in-the-life-of-my-dog

not:

    http://www.example.com/blog/2

as that really does not provide any more information than:

    http://www.example.com/blog.php?id=2

Otherwise, Daniel's solution below should do the trick.
