Iron Man 3 and exploding vegetation

Iron Man 3 is much better than I expected.

But, if you had a plant that exploded when someone touched it, would you really bring it into your hotel room? Me, I think I'd find a very isolated room, far from where I was say sleeping, and put up big signs: WARNING. PLANT BLOWS UP WHEN YOU TOUCH IT. REALLY. NOT KIDDING!

Honestly. Is there any valid reason why Maya Hansen would have an explosing plant in her hotel room? And then, when someone touches it, does she say "Hey, don't touch that plant. It explodes."? No, she says the plant doesn't like to be touched. I would love to say "Stupidest movie scientist every" but I'm sure there are plenty of worse examples out there.

Still, Iron Man 3 ... excellent flick. Much better than the previous two.

My niece brought up the what do you say for the holidays meme, and I found this. I can't believe we're already discussing this and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet.
