Sorry Dean, but I can't help adding a fact that I got to know just now - in Japan hospitals don't have no. 42 as it spells shi-ni meaning 'to die'. Just wanting to stress what he said: indeed, it does; see here.

Just wanting to stress what he said: indeed, it does; see here. And in that it's not forbidden by any rules that the College follows, it's a nice factoid , but that is all.

Could the sides be blue centre white and devided by Raguly Lines in yellow? I'm thinking a Mullet star (5 points) as a charge (I am a third son after all) not sure on what color for it...

That will assist you with the tincture of the device. I was thinking the centre... But technically I am the second son, but the third child, how does the Collage operate in such regards? on whether it's the child number or the son number? If it's by son, is there a particular charge that would represent a second son? Due to poor internet I can't resaurch it myself :S I know there is other charges that represent all the way to the 9th son

What you are asking is referring to "Cadency". In heraldry, cadency is any systematic way of distinguishing otherwise identical coats of arms belonging to members of the same family.
Historically arms were only heritable by males and therefore cadency marks have no relevance to daughters, except in the modern era in Canadian heraldry.
So, to answer your question, we would first need know is if your Father has a CoA, and if he does, we need a copy of that Blazon.

I was able to do a tiny bit of resurch and it turns out it's less of a charge and more of an addition (called a label) that myth sons will use (if they ever come to be) walst I am alive, they use my coat of arms, with these small labels to show who they are. The second son it turns out is a upward tearned crescent moon, but I personally dislike it (not completely sure why :S). A Mullet star in the middle with a book on top I think will suit me just fine (possibly minus the book, but I think it would give it a certain something)

Ok I ran into a problem with the colors you asked for. I can't place yellow (or) next to white (argent) as metals can't touch. Plus, visually, it doesn't work. Instead, for the sake of an example, here is how it might look. Can I ask you a favor? Please stop changing your mind about colors, lines, charges, etc. I like working on these kind of things but I am not a full time emblazoner. It is far more helpful if someone has good ideas about what they want. This is, so far, the 15th revision to the emblazon I've made and each one is distinctly different. Thanks. Now, what next? Let's make sure the colors are right before placing a mullet (of which you don't know the color yet). Attachments:

Ok, so if you want to use a Label, you won't be confined to your status as a 2nd son
