  This actually has a bit of a point behind it, because the digits of Pi http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/~huberty/math5337/groupe/digits.html http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/~huberty/math5337/groupe/digits.htm... feature "999999" much earlier than would be expected if the digits were uniformly distributed. So once that sequence was discovered, it took a lot more work for mathematicians to convince themselves that it is completely "random" (or "normal" in the jargon). It still hasn't been proven though! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi#Irrationality_and_normality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi#Irrationality_and_normality
