That is an excellent explanation of an irrational number! It is a number with a decimal that never ends, and never becomes a repeating sequence of digits. (most specifically, it's one that can't be represented by writing the number as A/B, where A and B are both integers)

BTW, your 126th digit past the decimal is incorrect. It should be a 7.(HA!)

Pi is "growing" at the approximate rate that an umpire's strike zone does, when he loses his patience behind the plate and depserately wants the game to end.
