It's Al Lowe's CyberJoke 3000™
I'd like to thank everyone who explained to me that the SysReq is still used by Linux (of course; I should have known!) but especially Steve Robson who sent a huge list of Linux hotkeys and those who included this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
CyberJokester Neil Rubenking explained the other "vestigal" keys: Scroll Lock changes the way the arrow keys work in certain apps, notably spreadsheets. With Scroll Lock OFF, the arrow keys move the selection around but with it ON, the selection remains static while the sheet moves. Pause/Break works in Command Prompt. Type a command with a huge long output like DIR C:\ /A/B/S; press Pause and the output pauses until you press another key. Press Ctrl+Break and the output stops completely. Those I remember. But I've never known a use for SysReq! Thanks to all!

Today's CyberJoke 3000™
"Dad, my teacher's giving me a hard time," said the eighth grader. "Try this, Johnny," advised his father. "Take special care with your personal appearance and attire. Pay attention in class. And do your assignments promptly." "I really don't think that'll help, Dad," Johnny rejoined. "During study hall, she hissed at me that she's four weeks overdue!"
The 82-year-old man complained to the doctor about being tired. "How active are you?" He replied, "Well, Doc, Wednesday I picked up a 20-year-old secretary, went to her place, and nailed her three times. Thursday, I picked up a 19-year-old waitress at a diner, took her to Lover's Rock, and made love four times. Friday, I went out with my granddaughter's 18-year-old college friend and we ended up in the back seat of my car. Saturday, 21-year-old twins lured me into a motel..." The doctor interrupted, "That's astonishing! I hope you took proper precautions." The geezer replied, "Sure I did! I gave 'em all a phony name!"
