    place to rest your thumb incase the bowl gets too hot

    So your thumb doesn't have to touch the hot bowl, it can rest on the nice glass ball thing.

    You use it to point up at the sun and let it reflect upon the world to represent the sky Gods.

    It can also be a place to put sick little workings. I have a local blown piece similar to those but the glass ball has like 10-15 colored points/pillars in there, looks sick.

    if you keep it clean its a perfect place to grow a tiny civilization, the flame from your lighter will heat it and help it grow and you can watch them worship you as you toke

    Also maybe to keep it from rolling over.

    im pretty sure that that is the actual purpose. using it to protect your fingers from a hot bowl is just an added bonus:cool:

    Uhh, no.

    Carbs can be on the left or right side of the bowl, and regardless of which side its on, people may use either their thumb or index finger to cover the carb

    If you're left-handed or light with your left hand on a right-handed you're thumb would go there

    +rep cuz u made laugh:hello: lol im fuckin high right now:smoke:

    Well since the carb can come on the left or right side and you can hold the bowl with your right or left hand I'd say that your thumb doesn't always get used for the carb.
