To be rational about it, any irrational will contain everything any number of times.

I don't think I agree with that. See here for a counterexample, although it's generally believed that Pi is a normal number.

Thanks, I didn't know what normal was. Is it a new thing, or did I just sleep through that bit of school?
edit: Wiki says "The concept of a normal number was introduced by Émile Borel in 1909" so I guess I was asleep!
