A soft warm lap (as in cuddle). Beats a heated desk any time.
A chuckle or a groan?

Neither! My nose is delicate, I only pick it with the pinky!

Groan while peeing. The latter could cause even more... undesirables... to occur.

Badminton! Haha, honestly, it's actually my favorite sport (to play).
"Zero-Zero" or "Love-All"?

Sorry, I pass on this one, because I don't understand the allusions (or idiom, or pun, or hidden meaning, or whatever).

Nothing hidden here, they are merely two ways to call the score in badminton, when both teams have zero points.

Degrees or radians?

Depends on the context, but I'll pick degrees.
logarithms: natural or base 10?

Natural. It is after all the most organic choice...
(a-b)/(a+b) or a/(a+b)
It is written.

a/(a+b)
It is more centered.
Given the net sum would still be zero (balanced), would you rather have the world have MORE truly great people along with more truly reprehensible people or LESS truly great people but less truly reprehensible people?

I'd say FEWER truly great people... Hehe. I just said that to get in my little grammatical jab. I would actually prefer MORE truly great people (with the more truly reprehensible people), probably.
Math is created or discovered?

Hmm... I wish I could say both, because it's nearly dead even for me. However, I'm in a more auditory mood at the moment. So audio art it is.
Bottled water, or Filter Pitcher?
(And, I asked the laptop vs. desktop package because I need a new comp, and would like some mobility. I'm undecided between the two options...)
