I hear Leonard Kibrick and his dad are giving one away with every purchase of lemonade.
Why was Farina dressed as a baby in the opening scene of "Better Movies"?

Jackie Condon played a trick on Farina - Jackie gave Farina the script for his last scene in "Baby Clothes," an easy mistake to make since those two films are so close alphabetically and in time.
How much does the anchor weigh?

I don't know, but it's not nearly as heavy as Froggy's voice.
Why did Bobby Young change his name to "Clifton"?

He knew he'd never get anywhere in show business with a name like Robert Young.

Did anybody bet on Farina to win the Blue Grass Derby at those 1000 to 1 odds? Yeah Harry bet 1000 freckles and got a million back. Unfortunately he also bet his front teeth on Butch to beat Alfalfa in a boxing match. How did Alfalfa lose his personality?

(Scary - I had the same thought about why Spanky changed headgear.) Why did Porky change his name from Eugene to Gordon? He got sick and tired of being confused with Eugene "Pineapple" Jackson. Whatever happened to that wagon with the crazy wobbly wheels, in use from at least "Fire Fighters" to "Hook and Ladder"? Booker T. and Farina in "The Big Show"

The wagon complained that it was giving a bad representation of wagons everywhere, and ultimately quit the series. Tragically, it was destroyed by a box of dynamite carelessly dropped by Stymie from the upper loft of a barn. However, Charlie Oleze rebuilt the wagon for the Gang's 15th anniversary reunion (seen in the background of this crowd shot in this newsreel starting at about 0:08). youtu.be/f1aHri6Vtr0?t=8sWho was the announcer for this newsreel, anyway?

Who was the announcer for this newsreel, anyway? Don't you recognize Scooter Lowry's voice when you hear it? He sounds almost the same as he did when he sang a duet with Alfalfa to the two Darla twins back in 1926. Who was Clementina?
