Ammonia or azane is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. It is a colourless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. Ammonia contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to food and fertilizers. Ammonia, either directly or indirectly, is also a building-block for the synthesis of many pharmaceuticals and is used in many commercial cleaning products. Although in wide use, ammonia is both caustic and hazardous. In 2006, worldwide production was estimated at 146.5 million tonnes.
Ammonia, as used commercially, is often called anhydrous ammonia. This term emphasizes the absence of water in the material. Because NH3 boils at −33.34 °C (−28.012 °F) at a pressure of 1 atmosphere, the liquid must be stored under high pressure or at low temperature. “Household ammonia” or “ammonium hydroxide” is a solution of NH3 in water. The concentration of such solutions is measured in units of the Baumé scale (density), with 26 degrees baumé (about 30% w/w ammonia at 15.5 °C) being the typical high-concentration commercial product. Household ammonia ranges in concentration from 5 to 10 weight percent ammonia.
Plot
Roman slave Lurkio inadvertently becomes the possessor of a scroll naming the proposed assassins of the Emperor Nero. Administering to the participants of his master's orgy guests seems small compared to the trouble the scroll brings - but all are in for a nasty shock when Mount Vesuvius decides to erupt.

The Last Daze of Pompeii
It's Ludicrus Maximus - When the Forum Loses Its Decorum!
[last lines]::Lurcio: [to audience] I will quote from the last words of Cleopatra to Mark Antony: if you liked it, tell your friends. Saluté! [gesticulates "up yours" with his fingers] Eh, what was that? Ah, go on now, off [shot of the sky]
[first lines]::Lurcio: [during the opening credits when Frankie Howerd is displayed in small letters] Oh come on, bigger!::Lurcio: [the name gets bigger] Don't be ashamed of it!::Lurcio: [now bigger] Bigger!::[now even bigger]::Lurcio: Bigger!::Lurcio: [the name is now very large, and most of it has disappeared] Alright, don't go mad!
Ludicrus Sextus: [during Vesuvius' eruption] I say, Lurcio, how did my speech go?::Lurcio: [in the rubble] Master, you brought the house down!
Cassandra: Pompeii's citizens will befall the fate of the sinful men of Gomorrah!::Lurcio: Will they, indeed?::Cassandra: And Sodom [pronounced Sod em]::Lurcio: Ooh, I agree, the lot of them!
Lurcio: [Lurcio is behind a bush and after a few minutes, produces a watering can] What are you looking at? Anyway I wasn't so don't think about it.
Lurcio: [in the sauna] I can't see a bloody thing, can you? [naked woman passes by when Lurcio is in front of the camera] Eh, was that a naked woman just then? Damn, I missed her. [naked man passes by] But you couldn't miss him now, could you?
Lurcio: [after Cassandra's prophecy; to the camera] Oh, she's very embittered, you know. Very embittered. You've seen the ring she had on? Well, allegedly, that was given to her by her fiancé when she was eighteen, and he jilted her, and she hasn't had it off since! Poor dear!

Cuts like pins and needles
Miles and miles away
Hope to let you in
Hours and hours a day
Come to this conclusion
These walls couldn't stay
This is the first and last time
Ever feel this way...
Ever feel this way
You're not the only one who, feels this way
You're not the only one who, feels this way
You're not the only one who, feels this way
You're not the only one who, feels this way
I put the phone right down and
Theres nothing left to say
This is my only defence
The only game to play
Think this is easy for me
I pray to choose a fairy tale
But if i play to win
This opportunity...
Opportunity...
You're not the only one who, feels this way
You're not the only one who, feels this way (Only one)
You're not the only one who, feels this way
You're not the only one who, feels this way
Sick and tired of losing
I never win my little war
Pull the walls back down
Still better than before...
Better than before
You're not the only one who, feels this way
You're not the only one who, feels this way (only one)
You're not the only one who, feels this way
