I've read about that. Here we go again. 
One of the aspects of the Shroud that bothers me is that it shows a man of some 6 feet tall. Someone that tall would have been an anomily in the Holy Lands in that day. As I recall, the arkies tell us that the average hight for the men of these people was somewhere between 5'3'' to about 5'6'' or so.
I don't know about the reverse image (a soak-through at the time of menfacture, perhaps?). I'm sure we'll be hearing all about it before long, both ways.

| My hypothesis is that the Shroud of Turin is the actual burial shroud of a crucifixion victim...just not Jesus. Perhaps a man of European descent crucified in Palestine in the 1st Century A.D. |

The shroud has been revealed to be a hoax already, albeit a very old hoax, and adding another face to it doesn't make it any less of a hoax.
I don't think this new claim is going to get the Skeptical Enquirer to write yet another story on this thing, but who knows....
But, I do have a theory...If it is real, the new face has got to Dubya talking to the Father about invading other nations. |

The cloth isn't old enough for it to be a 1st century crucifixion. |

True, Valiant Dancer - the ones to know (scientist) has dated the shroud to somewhere between the early to mid 1300's.
