Here's a transaction fee's worth of private keys with 0.00001 BTC on each then. As long they are going to be spent, I've got 1500+ more...

How , what , who, What? How you dat? What dat? I thought you only are supposed to post public keys, so called "bitcom addresses"? Then people send you BTC to this bitcom address, I guess signing it with your public key, and only you can decrypt it and spend the BTC sent. If I import these private keys, doesn't that mean somebody can also import these private keys, spend them first, and thus double spend this amount, and I will be left with nothing? This stuff is confusing, just when I thought I understood Bitcoin...

You understand correctly. He is publishing the private keys so that anyone can spend the bitcoins they contain. Unfortunately, the cost of sending the coins is greater than the value of the coins.

I'm curious why deepceleron has so many of these addresses.

Upon review of all the private keys he has published, it appears that only the first one has any unspent inputs, and when trying to spend such input, it appears that the nodes will not even accept a TX that is only spending the inputs from the one address.
