Comment on Your birthdate in the decimal expansion of PiComments−chid12yWell mine isn't within the first 50 million. In any case, what's the relevance of this? Everything (with the correct encoding scheme) can be expressed somewhere in the decimal expansion of Pi.−danbruc12yWithout "(with the correct encoding scheme)" this is not a proven fact, i.e. it is not known whether Pi is a normal number [1].[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number−chid12yEven if it weren't a normal number it would still be true.−devNoise12yI found my birthday if I used MMDDYYY, but it didn't find it for YYYYMMDD.

Even if it weren't a normal number it would still be true.
