Just wanted to see how long it would take to generate 18 1's with vanity gen and it was like 1000 years

You are slightly off...

Code:
>oclvanitygen.exe 111111111111111111
Difficulty: 87112285931760247855549719117161853616128
[36.19 Mkey/s][total 354418688][Prob 0.0%][50% in 5.290055e+025y]





Usually you create an address like this:

private key -> public key -> hash -> address.

Here someone just did:

public key -> hash -> address. Whoever created the address like this can never spend the funds send there, because they dont have the private key.
