But that means that the representation of pi contains a ruby  program
that computes pi itself (although of course it never finishes), and
that for any imaginable programming language capable of that task, eg
a TuringMachine.

I am confused now, but I bet the Ruby program starts exactly at the
42**42 hexdigit - for a well chosen base of course ;)
