LCD Is this possible?

I have an off-the-shelf device that counts widgits and displays the result·on a 1X8 LCD. My question is - Is it possible to intercept the input to the LCD perhaps at its pins and then input it into a Basic Stamp for further processing say, depending upon its value?··

    Probably not. The signals that go to an LCD are pulses that activate the liquid crystal. It doesn't mean it's impossible but you will probably have more luck just using the Stamp to count the items as well. That also depends on the speed at which the count is taken. A few hundred items per second is easily doable with a Stamp.
