Nevermind that, being a 3D object, a body would not leave the kinds of photographic-like marks on an actual shroud covering it, no matter how the body makes an image on the shroud.

(Here's an experiment you can do at home: get a clean bedsheet, cover your body with ink, and have a friend wrap you in the sheet, then unwrap it and view the results. It will NEVER look like the shroud image.)
One documentary I've seen theorizes that the Shroud was actually a primitive photograph. It explains why the front and back are not to the same scale and the head does not properly sit on the body(head was done separately for detail work).

EXACTLY!!!!

If this damn 'shroud' was really a shroud, I expect it to actually enshroud the body of Christ the Lord™. Otherwise, I demand it to be called "The Photograph of Turin".
