I served as a kingdom herald when I was active in the Society for Creative Anachronism a few years ago. Learning blazon (the descriptive language of heraldry) was a lot of fun - the rigid syntax with its DRY goal of describing armory with as little repetition as possible reminded me somewhat learning a programming language.

My own arms: Per bend azure and argent, a rabbit's head erased counterchanged.
