I came upon an interesting heraldic webs site today called Escutcheons of Science - Armorial of Scientists which can be seen here:

http://home.att.net/~numericana/arms/index.htm

There is a most interesting quote at the upper right of the opening page that really caught my eye:  (Heraldry is) the science of fools with long memories. Written by James Robinson Planché (1796-1880)  Rouge Croix Pursuivant in 1854, and Somerset Herald in 1866.
