The Dirty Dozen: Why Twelve Rules The World
Why do eggs come in twelves, juries sit twelve strong, and ancient counting systems obsess over the number 12? In this episode, we dive into the curious dominance of the dozen—tracing its roots from Mesopotamian math to medieval markets, and exploring how it shaped commerce, culture, and cosmic thinking. Along the way, we meet famous twelves: the twelve Olympian gods, and the ever-elusive baker’s dozen. It’s a numerical deep dive with a twist of trivia, a dash of absurdity, and a whole lot of unnecessary detail.Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/cw/UnnecessaryDetails
