Since I haven’t made the effort to buy any sets with it in them, but I’m
wondering about part 44359, the
hemisphere. In the “ball-joints,” are there two hemispheres, or one? Is
there a way to join two of the hemispheres into a sphere? The pic at Peeron
isn’t clear...

They use two hemispheres sandwiched inside the socket. You can use one by
itself if you really feel like it, but it’s a tiny bit sloppier without the
second hemisphere to ride against. The only thing holding them together is
pressure from the socket walls, and I don’t believe there is a way to attach
anything to the inside, other than possibly plunking it down on a “+”-shaped
grid of studs, much like you can do with the 4x4 and 6x6 radar dishes. The
outside has a 2x2 grid of sockets that are form-fitting on the studs, though
they don’t have quite the same amount of grip that the tube-n-wall bricks do,
probably because they don’t have any means of using compressions to grip.
So, unless you want to drop them into a socket, or glue them together, you’re
pretty much stuck with bowls.

Thanks, David. Think I’ll order a couple from BrickLink and see if I can get
them to do what I want.
