I highly doubt that a undead creature could somehow for the word "Model" just fine yet still have to draw out "Trains".

However, Zombies that talk is not a new thing: see Undead or Alive.

Either way I'm really thinking that site is just grasping as straws. I'm thinking get more original, something like Zombie Haiku: Good Poetry For Your...Brains (http://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Haiku-Good-Poetry-Your-Brains/dp/1600610706/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218112282&sr=8-1)
