Sometimes when I am bored I will jump from one topic to another on 
wikipedia. Tonight I somehow found my way to the Ig Nobel Prize and this led 
me to the page on Silvia Browne, a self-proclaimed psychic here in the U.S. 
Here is what made me chuckle:

"Browne says she knows what it is like in heaven. In her book The Other Side 
and Back, she says the temperature is a constant 78°F (25.6°C), that there 
are no insects--unless one wants there to be, that pets go to heaven, and 
that one can build one's house wherever one wants unless it obscures the 
view of a river or some trees, in which case one needs permission.[16] She 
asserts that the "other side" exists approximately three feet above ground 
level and at a "higher vibrational level" and so is difficult for humans to 
perceive."

She's probably too smart for that. You might instead want to ask that
question to those who voluntarily hand her over millions of dollars to hear
or read what she says.

Does she say from whom?

If it exists at a different vibrational level why is it three feet higher?  
Oh and lookee here she also claims to be able to see angels; and she's got  
money for saying this? Yeesh!

I agree... heaven sounds a bit uncomfortably warm to me. Maybe she went 
to the wrong place lol.

Yeah, but.... remember ... no insects *unless you want there to be* so, 
I suppose if you want them to be with you, your pet bugs will be there 
with you.

What about the pets that didn't work out so well... Like my mom's evil 
cat. And the ones that are still living at the time of your demise?

I should make crap up and charge people unseemly amounts of money for 
it. I again find I'm in the wrong industry. I should have been a charlatan.

Wouldn't that create a paradox, If I wanted insects and you didn't.  
"Here's my pet stick insects" as I show what appears to you to be an empty  
glass box.

Wouldn't that be kind of pointless if she thinks of God as omniscient. I  
think of building a house next to the river and a message should appear  
instantly telling me yes or no. Hmm can you appeal?

I think it's the price we pay for being fundamentally honest. I should  
start prostelysing the words of Tekneos God of Music; Scypian Goddess of  
Shopping; Fanglemork God of Blue Tomatoes; and the Great Porcelain God  
Hruggh, All Bow Before Him; or at least sell T-shirts.

Well, I suppose you could get a petition. But God's HOA by-laws stand.

Heh, given what today (currently in U.S. time) is Hruggh is going to be 
worshiped quite a bit. :D

Just don't forget to utter His Name as you make your devotions and give  
aid where necessary to your fellow worshipers; remember His words -
Hruggh loves those who hold back the hair of others;
Blessed art those who provide toilet paper in time of need;
Flush once, flush twice, flush often.

I missed this at first reading.
I am mostly working in another building because my staff room is always 
22-24°C and when I am in there I start feeling ill after an hour or so. 
Imagine feeling ill for eternity... Does she also tell if hell is a more

No mention of hell on the wikipedia page. But judging from this clip on 
youtube I suspect that is where she might eventually wind up
