< PreviousTwo of a kind In a twist of fate, twins from Scarborough have passed their driving tests at the same time, on the same date, in the same place! Taking off together, the teenagers returned from their exams just two minutes apart, even passing with the same number of minor mistakes. Not originally planning to take their tests simultaneously, after twin Emma booked in her test on 9 August, an app automatically rescheduled brother Alfie’s test in the exact same slot! watercooler 90 LINCOLNSHIRE TODAY LincolnshireToday @lincstoday lincolnshiretoday.net Have we missed anything?

The 60-year-olds headed down to Skegness Station for the milestone snap, celebrating their half century of friendship. The pair first took a picture together in a Lincoln Woolworths, by chance finding themselves back in the shop five years later, and deciding to recreate the original, leading to the fun tradition. © stock.adobe.com/skyNext The call of an ancient insect A PhD student in Zoology from the University of Lincoln, has led a new research study that reconstructs the song of a 150- year-old insect, preserved as a museum specimen at the Natural History Museum. Along with an investigative team, Charlie used ‘micro- scanning Laser- Doppler Vibrometry’ to recreate the vibration patterns and resonances of the insect’s sound production organs. Prophalangopsis obscura is an insect belonging to an ancient bush-cricket family of over 100 known species dominant during the Jurassic period, of which only eight members remain alive today. © stock.adobe.com/ Wirestock Creators 90.qxp_Layout 1 23/08/2022 15:48 Page 191.qxp_Layout 1 23/08/2022 15:49 Page 1*Price based on a 2-night break in Value accommodation at Tattershall Lakes in September.
