Answer 1

Apparently, the global object isn't the global object as window is in the browser. It's (according to micheil in #nodejs @ freenode) really only used internally. Something about global closures and whatnot.

parseInt and setTimeout and all those buddies are globals on their own. Not part of any visible global object.
