You can certainly pick a random real number from the unit interval.

Really? Go on, then, pick one and tell us what it is (or at least tell us what your procedure was).
One example in a finite space and time setting would be selecting a random point on the ground. Say by dropping a ball there or something. The exact coordinates it lands is a random real number. But the probability that it landed on those exact coordinates is exactly 0, hence a paradox.
