Moleskin:
- Why is a bakers dozen 13? The oldest known rationale is in an English statute dating back to the 13th century called the Assize of Bread and Ale. Bakers who were found to have shortchanged customers could be liable to severe punishment. To guard against the loss of a hand to an axe, a baker would give 13 for the price of 12, to be certain of not being known as a cheat.
