What are few commonly used Hidden Lists and Objects that we should know of in Sharepoint?

A: 

It may not be a terribly helpful answer, but my experience of Sharepoint development has indicated there are so many holes to fall down with the non-hidden and occasionally even documented lists and objects that wandering into the rocky territory of hidden ones is asking for trouble.

That is definitely true, but not knowing about hidden lists and objects, such as hidden fields associated with out-of-the-box content types when you are creating your own fields is definitely something that can cause problems, which I think is what this question is about.

Long Running Operations Status list.

A: 
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
    foreach (SPList list in web.Lists)
        Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", list.Title ?? "(noname)", list.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl);

I get:

Cache Profiles - /Cache Profiles

Converted Forms - /IWConvertedForms
Documents - /Documents
Form Templates - /FormServerTemplates
Images - /PublishingImages
List Template Gallery - /_catalogs/lt

I asked this question when I came across History List while working with workflows. I dont see History List in this collection.
You can see Hidden lists in SharePoint designer, a History List is created when you create a workflow (my site has none). The code above shows actual System lists, like the Relationships List (variations referencial integrity)
