Great to see it's not just me with the "help" key.
I got so tired of hitting that key by accident that I removed it from the keyboard.
And a friend removed the caps lock-key from his powerbook since he hates it that much.

those arrows next to delete. or that key on the numpad that looks like a box with a line through it. it appears to work like escape does with a dialogue box.

§ - that one.

I think the four keys over the numeric keys (help, the diagonal arrow, and the up and down arrow with two horizontal lines through it. Doesnt do anything - never knew what it was for. Oh and one question: I saw the modern keyboards have a "k" key next to the right apple, just the "k" is tilted to the left. Whats it for?

The "num lock" key turns a part of my laptop keyboard into a number pad. Useful if you're into number pads.
