Can anyone help identify this spider? Found on a celing in Austria.

Probably something that'll kill you.
Australia yes. Austria probably not.
-
That's a huntsman. Not dangerous to you

Maybe they got bit by it and had to type quick before the venom took hold so they missed some letters?

Way to go, now the Spider Mafia is going to find him and break his legs for sure.

Looks like a crab
Everything becomes crab

Can confirm.

As long as it's not Australia you're probably safe

I don't know anything about insects, but maybe some sort of running crab spider, e.g. Philodromus cespitum?

I’ve been calling him Jeff! My apologies to Geoff.

But if you were in Australia, you SHOULD be worried about your safety with something like that on your ceiling

Nah here it would be a huntsman spider. Not dangerous at all

Are you sure? In Australia from what I've heard, I'm pretty sure it could bite through your skull and lay it's eggs in there.

Apparently Australians feel the same about North Americans living around bears. Either way, you just learn to be cautious and mind your own business.

Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to type "aarrggh". He'd just say it!

I know what you mean. I live in Florida and people always mention alligators. Truth is you can go a decade and never even see a gator. When you finally do, it's probably in a zoo or something. I mean you do hear stories and it's no surprise because you live in Florida. That's where they are.
But Australia sounds like a whole nother level. I mean you guys have a venemous ant for crying out loud AND it's aggressive. I mean the shear concentration of things that can kill you down there is off the charts. Crocs, box jellyfish, snakes, spiders even friggin kangaroos! Am I wrong?
