How random? There are no occurences of the sequence 123456 in the first
million digits of pi

Isn't there basically a (e-1)/e (63%) chance of a given n digit sequence occurring in a string of 10^n random digits? That 123456 doesn't occur would actually seem to be a (very weak) indication that pi is non-random.
