Answer 1

I can't view photobucket files at my office, could you upload the photo to flickr and link it?

Additional details - That is a species of Giant Crab Spider, Family Sparassidae, called so because they kinda walk like a crab.   Some species get upwards of 11" in diameter, but are on average 5" in diameter for full size adults.  They are also called Rain Spiders in Africa and Huntsman spiders or Wood Spiders in Australia.  They are usualy found on trees or logs with their legs spread out and cammoflagued, or they tend to be found on walls behind paintings or, as an internet meme has shown, partially hidden behind a clock.

*Added*, it could also be a "Running Crab Spider", family

Philodromidae.  They look very similar to the Sparassidae spiders.
