**Why do men wear suits? Ancient Astronaut Theory.** “You see, the space travellers wore bio-suits to protect themselves from harmful contaminants and micro-organisms, as we can see in this recently-discovered painting in a mesoAmerican step-pyramid. So this was retained as a race memory by humans, and once we had the technology, we instinctively set out to imitate the ‘space gods’ although of course we had long since forgotten why. So…” ---
