Alright, that makes sense, and how about pi?

Since pi is not random, we cannot say that every finite string is in it. (If it was, the probability P[s in binary representation] would be 1 for every finite s)

Actually, there is no proof and no counter proof that every finite string comes up in pi. (...that I know of)
