Without the corresponding client, the codes are worthless, and trying to brute force with these as reference would be as useful as brute forcing from scratch?
This is why it's a joke: this page is a generator of keys. Every time you load a new page, it gives you another set of possible keys.
If you look at the top of the page, when it says "Page 1 out of 904625697166532776746648320380374280103671755200316906558262375061821325312", you can get an idea that this is not that useful at all.
Clever.
I bet the creator hopes that panic will ensue, and that he/she can buy some extra bitcoins at a lower price. I might buy a few now, shouldn't be a bad idea. :)
But do you think the intersection of Bitcoin investors who actually know what a private key is and people who don't get the joke is big enough for that?
The first address has a balance of 0.01 BTC... how would you be able to use it?
I tried importing the private key on Blockchain.info but it gives an error of "Error importing private key: TypeError: Cannot call method 'toBigInteger' of null". Coinbase import feature also gives an error.
That would be a good idea. That way, everytime someones enters their key, the app can answer that it is not there, check its presence in the database, then get the money :p
Well this one does. But (to keep within your metaphor) nearly all of them are numbers from either the past or after you will die. And the chances of getting a useful one are smaller than actually playing the lottery.

Good job :)

Care to open source the generator code?
It will never get the entire list anyway...
