''The infinite length of ostensibly random decimal points in  means that it contains the equivalent of every book ever written, every birthday, and every other number.''
    
That is quite a misleading statement: Pi (most probably) contains any '''finite''' sequence of numbers, therefore any book or birthday date can be "found", e.g., encoded as ascii.

But saying that pi contains "every other number" implies that it contains every number like pi, i.e., every real number. That is obviously wrong. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 08:42, July 11, 2021 (EDT)
