When I clicked the Facebook link provided by this page, I got "Sorry, this content isn't available right now. The link you followed may have expired, or the page may only be visible to an audience you're not in." Why would Guido Menzio delete this post?

It is likely that he deleted his Facebook post because he mentions wearing a keffiyeh, or 'Yasser Arafat scarf' as he calls it. It is far more plausible that this is what drew suspicion than his scribbling algebraic symbols on a page. http://web-facstaff.sas.upenn.edu/~gmenzio/index_files/self4.jpg http://web-facstaff.sas.upenn.edu/~gmenzio/index_files/self4...

  Uhm, that's not a 'Yasser Arafat scarf' in that picture, that's a knitted scarf ...

    Maybe, but that is what he called it himself on facebook, and it has the distinctive keffiyeh chequered pattern and he wears it like a keffiyeh.

      I don't see that at all. He's wearing it around his neck, not on his head. The material is completely different. The pattern is also different.

        The keffiyeh is versatile. It can also be worn around the neck, tucked into the jacket. This way of wearing it became a fashion in the West in the mid to late '80s.

      > it has the distinctive keffiyeh chequered pattern No, it has the equally distinctive and extremely popular and well-known "Houndstooth" pattern.

        The houndstooth pattern is a form of check. Wikipedia entry for Houndstooth pattern: "Houndstooth, hounds tooth check or hound's tooth (and similar spellings), also known as dogstooth, dogtooth, dog's tooth, or pied-de-poule, is a duotone textile pattern characterized by broken checks or abstract four-pointed shapes, often in black and white, although other colours are used." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houndstooth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houndstooth Wikipedia entry for Check - Use in fabrics: "Check-patterned fabrics display bands in two or more colours in woven cloth." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_%28pattern%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_%28pattern%29 Wikipedia, definition of keffiyeh: "Its distinctive standard woven checkered pattern may have originated in an ancient Mesopotamian representation of either fishing nets or ears of grain,[2] but the true origin of the pattern remains unknown." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keffiyeh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keffiyeh
