Pi cannot work for a random number generator because although the numbers may roughly conform to the serial randomness test, the numbers aren't random.

A random number generator must be dynamic or it's utterly predictable, and purposeless.

How on Earth is a player of an MMO like EverQuest that generates thousands of random numbers per minute going to know which digit of pi is currently being used for his rotting skeleton spawn??? Or that it's pi that's being used and not the fifth root of 19?
