Has anyone heard the theory that Da Vinci was the artist who created the Shroud of Turin?

History Channel had a updated show(April 2009) and what they said was da Vinci may have been hired to make a Shroud. Maybe for the House of Savoy?
Also that facial measurements(Jan 2009) were taken of Leonardo and the figure on the Shroud and they matched one another. Also I saw a show a while back were someone had taken measurements of the Mona Lisa and Leonardo and they matched. Busy guy!

The site www.photoofJesus.com has some compelling arguments regarding the Shroud of Turin being genuine. Regarding the Da Vinci Shroud, the site argues that Leonardo Da Vinci must have seen the Shroud, and being so impressed with the noble image on the Shroud, that he used the Shroud image as his model. The site also points out that other painters before DaVinci used the shroud as a model for their painting. The site also gives convincing pictures of the Shroud face being superimposed on a painting from the year 550AD to give a perfect match.

I saw on the History channel about an early camera Da Vinci invented that he could have used to create the Shroud. The age of the Shroud can't be precisely determined because it had been in a fire, thus making carbon dating impossible.

New info on Carbon Dating. Basically stating the date they came up with 1260-1390 was due to testing a piece of the Shroud which has determined to have been a piece of cloth which was woven into the original at sometime maybe to repair it . Anyway what can be tested the History Channel(April 2009)piece said was the burnt parts from the fire. Carbon and Carbon 14 I guess are different. When this may happen?????
