Take away their personality. It'll stop anyone (at least anyone born on a farm and named after a plant).
How did Farina survive every bit of physical comedy he had to go endure?

How did Farina survive every bit of physical comedy he had to go endure? He didn't. The Farina 1920 was one of the earliest examples of a synthetic humanoid that was commercially produced. Hal Roach Studios bought several dozen Farina 1920s as they wrecked them fairly regularly during filming. Why did Froggy have a trick voice?

He ate too much of what Stymie prepared for Wheezer consumed in Big Ears.

Judging by Harry Spear's philosophy the answer must be nope, that's what women are for. Why do they keep casting Waldo as a villain in newer versions of the Little Rascals?

Why do so many people think Waldo wore a Little Lord Fauntleroy suit? Probably because he did, along with rabbit costumes and a french maid's outfit but never while on set Did Farina's mumbo jumbo charm really work and where did he get it from?

Sure it worked, it just might have taken longer and not been as obvious as anyone expected. Farina got the charm by sending in a dozen boxtops to a traveling circus in Borneo that advertised on his favorite breakfast cereal.

What happens to timbers that get shivered? They tend to have spliced main braces, barnacled bilges and risk getting themselves keel hauled, me hearties Why did Hal Roach think it was a good idea to promote petty larceny, school break ins and no end of other illegal activity by minors?

Roach was actually a former criminal, using his experiences as a young adult to create these films.
Why was Stymie's "pappy" always in jail?

Stymie's pappy took the rap for a lot of Roach's crimes and in exchange Roach gave Stymie a role in the series. What is the truth regarding Shirley Temple and the Rascals?

Shirley actually played all of the roles in the series, an extremely difficult task for everyone involved. She was simply too modest to admit it.
What is the truth regarding Mickey Rooney and the Rascals?

What is the truth regarding Mickey Rooney and the Rascals? You actually answered the question yourself because Mickey Rooney was such a good actor that he relished the challenge of playing female roles in movies too. One day he decided to dress up in girl's clothes and went to an audition with Hal Roach Studios, when they asked him what his name was he invented the name Shirley Temple right there on the spot and got the job. As you quite rightly noted he was such a good actor that everybody at the studio believed that he was really a girl and the cinema going public believed that there really were kids called Farina, Wheezer, Joe Cobb and Mary Ann etc in Our Gang, not realizing that they were all being played by the same girl (who was really a boy). Mickey was so enthusiastic about acting that he also worked for a rival studio at the same time under the name of Mickey McGuire. In reality very few people know that his real name was Yuri Gagarin, a name which he reverted to while taking an extended holiday to the USSR, where he enjoyed some success as a cosmonaut. Could Joe Cobb really drive a train?

Of course he can --- as long as it's a gravy train. On a good day he can drive a train of thought.

When do we go through Frisco? It'll take another three days for the laser powered drill to tunnel under the Pacific and then we'll be through Frisco, in a matter of hours, and onwards towards the east. Why was Harry's grandmother needed to stop him climbing onto the roof?
