In Aztec mythology, Mictecacihuatl (pronounced 'Meek-teka-see-wahdl' or 'Meek-teka-kee-wadl') is Queen of Mictlan, the underworld, ruling over the afterlife with , another deity who is designated as her husband.
Her role is to keep watch over the bones of the dead. She presided over the ancient festivals of the dead, which evolved from Aztec traditions into the modern Day of the Dead after synthesis with Spanish cultural traditions. She is said now to preside over the contemporary festival as well. Mictecacihuatl is known as the Lady of the Dead, since it is believed that she was born, then sacrificed as an infant. Mictecacihuatl was represented with a defleshed body and with jaw agape to swallow the stars during the day.

Get the Mischa mug.Fairly attractive actress best known for her role on the OC. The only other place I've seen her was in The Sixth Sense. She's the dead girl that got killed by her mother. Word is she has an eating disorder, and ironically, her first appearance in The Sixth Sense shows her scaring the crap out of Cole Sear due to the green stuff pouring from her mouth.
I was watching The Sixth Sense and my buddy was like, "Dude, that's Mischa Barton! Wait, is it? Yeah!" Then I said, "Yeah, she's on The O.C.! Sweet!"

Get the miscarriage mug.When auto-correct on a mobile phone capitalizes a word after a period, then the user edits the sentence and forgets to un-capitalize the word.
I decided to edit my Facebook post, but my phone had capitalized the "w" on "we should do this again," and I forgot to change it back. It turned out: "I had fun, We should do this again." Bit of a miscap, there. Hope she isn't a grammar nazi.
