To answer your question:
The DELIMITER statement tells MySQL to use a different set of
characters to terminate statements. This is necessary when you want
to use a ";" in your actual statement. In this case, the entire
trigger definition is considered one statement, but the ";" in the
"DELETE..." line is being interpreted as the termination of it.
Yes, it's dumb.
