The judge who presided over the failed Da Vinci Code plagiarism case at London's High Court hid his own secret code in his written judgement. Seemingly random italicised letters were included in the 71-page judgement given by Mr Justice Peter Smith, which apparently spell out a message. (...) "I can't discuss the judgement, but I don't see why a judgement should not be a matter of fun," he said.

We need more judges like that! Ones who have no problem mocking their cases in some way. Kudos to him!

Evidently the code has been broken, and the message said "Jackie Fisher who are you dreadnought"
Make any sense? Not to me.

The code has indeed been broken and is made sense of here [news.bbc.co.uk].
