Words made up of four characters with the same tone

ximeng   August 27th, 2014 1:21a.m.

In the spirit of the post with words containing four characters of different tones, I came across "adrenaline" in my Skritter list today:

肾上腺素 shen4shang4xian4su4

I don't remember any more in my list with all the same tone although I'm sure there should be plenty. Anyone got any?

Only one springs right to mind is 阿拉斯加州！

Five in a row for extra bonus...

Thanks guys! I bumped into another one today (内部事务) so decided to add these to a list http://www.skritter.com/vocab/list?list=2577393612 to go with the four different tones one （which seems a bit easier) at http://www.skritter.com/vocab/list?list=2580342269. I had to add the chicken and probability density to Skritter.
