:[http://twitter.com/fivethirtyeight FiveThirtyEight] {{Wiktionary|AFAIK}} is the Twitter handle (and the name of his blog, which is now a part of the [http://fivethirtyeight.com NY Times]) of statistician Nate Silver. He may have chosen to use that handle as it is the number of votes in the Electoral College. And now that I've done all that research, I might copy this into the explanation.

I didn't add this  because it might be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that Ender and Valentine aren't going to the formic homeworld, since that was destroyed by the M. D. Device, and I think that in Ender in Exile, Ender is shown to have gone to a mere colony of the formics. {{unsigned ip|Athang}}

::True to both. I have added that it doesn't look like it is vomiting, but added the link to the official transcript and noted both that it does vomit, and that it looks like it eats from the ground. The transcript here should describe the comic. Not copy the transcript from xkcd. But use it for clarifications. For instance the names are also not given in the comic, at least not for Valentine, whereas they are given in the official transcript. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 20:21, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

:::It makes sense that the squirrel is vomiting. Peter Wiggin, in the books, was a psychopath and an animal abuser, so what he fed the squirrel might have been poisonous. [[Special:Contributions/172.71.123.159|172.71.123.159]] 18:49, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
