Pi Recited to 100,000 Digits
DiAmOnDirc writes "Akira Haraguchi, 60, needed more than 16 hours to recite the number to 100,000 decimal places, breaking his personal best of 83,431 digits set in 1995, his office said Wednesday. He made the attempt at a public hall in Kisarazu, just east of Tokyo. Haraguchi, a psychiatric counselor and business consultant in nearby Mobara city, took a break of about 5 minutes every one to two hours, going to the rest room and eating rice balls during the attempt, said Naoki Fujii, spokesman of Haraguchi's office. Fujii said all of Haraguchi's activities during the attempt, including his bathroom breaks, were videotaped for evidence that will later be sent for verification by the Guinness Book of Records."
Al only knows it to a thousand places.

Sorry, you're wrong. What you are saying has not been proven about pi, infact it is not proven whether all numerals appear an infinite number ot times in the decimal expansion of pi. It could be the case that the number 9 only appears a couple of billion times or so, no one knows. Don't go assuming things you're not sure of.
