Mendeleev’s House
Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian chemist. He is credited as being the primary creator of the first version of the periodic table of elements. Unlike other contributors to the table, Mendeleev predicted the properties of elements yet to be discovered.
There is a legend about how he has discovered this table. According to this legend he was trying to figure out the table for many weeks but couldn’t get all the elements in one table. So he was very tired and exhausted so got a little nap, and during this nap he have got the dream. In this dream he has clearly seen the periodic table of elements in three dimensions. Everything was structured and brilliantly looking. Not only the known and already discovered elements, which have already got their names, were on this table, but the previously unknown elements which didn’t have the names and were not discovered for that time, they were discovered only years later. All he had to do is to wake up and write everything down. So he woke up and the table was ready.

It is fully loaded with some goods, but with a missing lane. It even doesn’t think about going by a right, lower speed lane, it goes at left lane – where the more speedy cars ride. Seems the driver doesn’t care at all that his truck is a little bit out of order.
