Dear Peter Pein,
I want to thank you for finding this number.
It appears to be algebraic and not transcendental.
Some other algebraics have been shown to be b-normal
according to Eric Weisstein's site Math World notation for normal. ( 
Sqrt[n] types)
It seems a strange misuse of the original meaning of "normal"
in noise theory which refered to the Exp[x^/2]/Sqrt[2*Pi]
type of distriubution which isn't normal in the b-normal sense
( I think).
