I've always wondered this, it can be a bit of a shock if you're busy and think the album has just ended. I think Greenday did one with about an 8minute gap.

secret tracks. and yes, they're seldom worth the wait.
2 Many DJ's cunningly hid one at the front of a CD, in order to get it you'd play track one then hold the reverse button to skip backwards through the hidden track zero... wasn't worth that hassle either.

Robbie Williams - Beyond the Sea, from Swing When You're Winning. 4:30 song, 21:00 silence, 2:45 improvised junk. 28:15 total track length!

Didn't The Beatles' Abbey Road have one? Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl... Wasn't that good really. I think one of Beck's albums had one too.

Bonus tracks? Usually utter garbage. Actually, does anybody know a good one?

i don't know of any secret tracks 
Perhaps it's because they are secret and I'm not curious enough.

Therer's a Travis song I quite like which fades out nicely to fall asleep, after the silence though they start SLAMMING doors an ALARM clocks go off

They're not normally 'good' otherwise they'd actually be in the album proper, they're normally either experimental or, in the case of Marilyn Manson, a mini dialogue, at the end of Misery Machine. Tool has an annoying part at the end of Disgustipated where it's like 7 minutes of crickets.
