Geographically-speaking, the 33rd parallel is the 33º line of latitude North of the Equator. It’s a small, 80 mile wide region of the world that goes all the way around the world where some bizarre things have happened (and are still happening!) throughout history. In this episode, I list out as many strange things as I can think of that have happened in the United States and around the world, and I give my thoughts on what the 33rd parallel actually is. Warning: it gets a little scientific near the end so feel free to skip that part if you want.
