........the Macondo Well Site. They shouldn't have used a name like that if they were not looking for trouble. They were asking for trouble.

It is a kind of magical cursed place that is eventually wiped off the face of the earth in a wind storm. The book is worth a read.

Probably one of the best books ever written - one of my favourites anyway.
