Only variables prefixed with $ are global ($var and so on).
It is, however, certainly possible to have shared locals
if you have something like

  some_var

  t1 = Thread.new { ... }
  t2 = Thread.new { ... }

Any variables that you define inside the thread block will
be local to that thread, though.
