There's a theory that Pi digits contain every possible finite sequence of digits.

Just think about it. If that's true, the whole universe is described inside Pi with any precision you want, with any time precision you want. Somewhere in Pi your whole life is stored.

Also known as a Normal Number, it is thought that most numbers are of this type. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number)

You seem to have misread the link you have given. It is, in fact, known that almost all numbers are normal.
