How would the world respond if we learned the DNA of mitochondria, was pi? Suffering from ads?

How would you, how would the world respond if we learned the DNA of mitochondria, was pi?

In base 4 obviously...... for those of you unaware, mitochondria are a part of every cell in our body which is responsible for energy production. We did discover(don't remember who) that it has it's own unique DNA.

How would the world respond if today, someone realized the DNA of mitochondria was, pi, up to the number of places that there are DNA pairs in mitochondria?

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

That's pretty much impossible, for two reasons: 1, pi is supposed to have an equal frequency of every digit, which is not true for DNA at all, and 2, DNA has a LOT of long repeated sequences.

EDIT: and 3: there is no particular sequence that is "mitochondrial DNA". Mitochondrial DNA sequences are actually highly variable.

Some math types would start a cult about it. Sane scientists would be curious about the reason of the occurence. Sane ordinary people wouldn't care one nothch about it.
