Does anyone know how it came to be that the BP deep water well (which has exploded and is causing so much grief) was named: Macondo? It was so named prior to the explosion. The name is apparently taken from the Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude." Who or what was responsible for naming it such? (CD3257 (talk) 20:45, 31 May 2010 (UTC))
