Canary in the Coalmine

Girl listens to music on her computer  Roommate walks in, carrying plant:  What are you listening to  Twelve-tone music for one of my classes  What a coincidence  I'm doing a report on the effects of music on plants  Think you could help me out  Um, sure, but don't say I didn't warn you  She unplugs her headphones  Plant immediately bursts into flames  You get the next track ready, and I'll get another plant  We need more data  Can you send a copy of your report to my Musicianship teacher

The music building at my school had a few live plants here and there, which functioned both as a morale booster and an early warning system. 

Or, at least I'm pretty sure they were real plants...
