Corporate Bank Structures Visualized

Shown on this map (which is interactive at the link) are companies that make up the Goldman Sachs group, which comprises thousands of business entities based all over the world. You recognize the shape of the United States and the UK, but you may have to check the drop-down menu to identify the others. The area highlighted in yellow here is the Cayman Islands, where the corporation has 739 subsidiaries. That big red blob in Europe? That's Luxembourg. You can mouse around to see each company and the other companies that it owns or is owned by. It can get confusing fast. There are also visualizations for Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan and Wells Fargo, at OpenCorporates. Link -via Metafilter

I SO needed this for my cat Husie growing up. We kept track for 1 year of how many animals she brought home. It was over 230, and those were just the ones she showed us! The next people to own our land will think we were devil worshippers with the amount of bones in our compost pile out back. ;)

Im guessing Guyon didn't actually look to see how this worked. 'cause a scratch wouldn't change the cats profile silloutte enough. Perhaps if the dog bit off part of its face, but at that point, something tells me the cat wouldn't have made it back to the house anyhow.

No, i think the kitties will be fine.

You have to understand the mind of a geek.

I mentioned this story to a friend of mine a few years ago. He is a scientist with Dynetics Corp. (worked on the M.O.A.B project, he was very stressed during those 3 months) and was currently working on an independent target acquisition system for individual bomblets.

His immediate response was to consider what system he would use to tackle the problem. I was certain I would see a new dog door next time I visited his house.
