sean and i tried listing as many "-scope"s as we could think of... this is what we came up with:

telescope
microscope
gyroscope
stethoscope
helioscope
spectroscope
periscope

that took us literally (i checked the time stamps) 5 minutes, then sean found a wikipedia article, and this is what it had to say...

* Cinemascope
* cystoscope
* electroscope
* endoscope
* fibrescope
* finderscope
* fluoroscope
* gastroscope
* gonioscope
* gyroscope [check]
* horoscope
* iconoscope
* kaleidoscope
* kinescope
* kinetoscope
* laryngoscope
* microscope [check]
* oscilloscope
* periscope [check]
* Rotoscope
* spectroscope [check]
* stethoscope [check]
* telescope [check]

wikipedia failed to mention 'helioscope', but there IS an article about it... so it does exist

we were disappointed in ourselves for not thinking of horoscope and kaleidoscope
