The goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) is a rare species often called a "living fossil" -
This seems to me the strangest of all the sharks. It looks like some kind of prehistoric survivor, an experiment in shark design that doesn't seem to work. And yet, by definition, it does work. Triceratops,
the dinosaur with three horns, is long gone, as are Pteranodon and hundreds of other "impossible" animals. There is little that can be said about this mysterious shark, because so little is known about it. And yet, we have the most curious, incontrovertible fact of all: Mitsukurina lives.

You also have the issues of vanity sizing and different cuts. I like the style of many of Target's Mossimo Supply Co shirts, but I'm an entire size larger in those because they're "Athletic Cut" which apparently means tight. Vanity sizing works the opposite way. Men's size 36 pants at Old Navy are actually 41 inches.
And of course, these are "free" t-shirts at a conference. In those situations, I always get a size bigger because I assume they're going to shrink a size after the first wash.
