Right, but the proof that pi is normal is lacking. 

As far as I know, it's not even known to
be normal to base 10. Though there's some
fun to be had even with what is known
just by explicit computation.

Table 1 in

http://pi314.at/math/normal.html

is good for a laugh.

And didn't Carl Sagan write a bizarre
novel in which a circle encoded into
the digits of pi was proof of the
existence of God?
