A farmers dozen is twelve, like the normal person's. But, a baker's dozen is thirteen. A baker's dozen is one more then the normal dozen, and this is because in Europe during the 13th century baker's had severe punishment when they "cheated" someone out of bread. In order to be sure that they always gave their customers the proper number of bread slices, or loaves. This way if one slice or loaf got burned, eaten, lost, etc their would still be twelve.
