LOL. You're joking, right?

Han :

And from this you deduce I mean that pi meets my definition of a random
sequence?

I assert that "7" is a part of sequence which I consider random.You
assert that "7" is a part of the sequence of digits in "pi". You then
infer that I mean that "pi is a random sequence"?

Really, really, pathetic. I mean, really. C'mon. You're not even
trying, here. A new low; it will be bookmarked.

If I say that "1+1=2" will you argue that? Will say "Chas claims that
1+1=3" just so you don;t have to agree to "1+1=2"?

Cheers - Chas
