<Yesterday, "16138169-8665-xt430-11-ev", a Corewars warrior evolved by 
Barkley Vowk, slipped onto the 94nop hill (http://www.koth.org), pushing 
off a handwritten warrior called "Mesa" by Roy van Rijn.

Barkley has evolved at least two warriors previously that have made it onto 
the hills. This itself gives good hopes that soon, somewhere, a warrior 
will be evolved that beats the current 'state-of-the-art' handwritten 
programs!>

Hmmm...
