中世イングランドでは、軽すぎるパンを売って顧客を騙すため評判が悪かった。その後パンの標準重量を定める法律ができたが、1ダースのパンに13個目のパンを紛れさせてこの法律をかいくぐった。
ということみたい。 #dtp

原文
A baker's dozen of things is thirteen of them. To help you decide where to go, we've picked out a baker's dozen of top events between April and September. Note: Bakers in medieval England (= England between 1000 and 1500) had a bad reputation for cheating their customers by selling loaves of bread that were too light. After laws were introduced to fix the standard weight of loaves, bakers began to add a thirteenth loaf to each dozen to make sure they were not breaking the law. #dtp

他にも色々と感覚的に合わんのがたくさんw #dtp

@temari @uske_s Googleのトップみたいに、称号の由来へのリンクとか用意しとくと、教養高まっていいよね。 #dtp
