You mean uniformly distributed. Being a normal number states more than that: any finite sequence of digits are uniformly distributed.
While you are right that Pi isn't proven to be normal, constructing a normal number isn't exactly hard. I think the following number is proven to be normal (binary representation, I added spaces for clarity):
0.0 1 00 01 10 11 001 010 011 100 101 110 111 ...
It's clear to see that this number contains all possible finite binary sequences.
