Well, there are two reasons why we posted so quickly.kripp wrote:

1. The title of the thread definitely hooked me in.
2. Everyone loves to hate spiders.
Maybe its a new species. First person to get a name of the species with pics and description gets as much karma as I can give.
St. Andrews Cross Spider.

Genius is probably right, it's a St. Andrews (haha, my name) Cross Spider.

Looks nothing like the st andrews cross spider. Try again. Also I live in south florida not australia or those other places it says in the link.
It actually looked like it was silver from the top view. Thats why I found it so wierd.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be from the Argiope genus, a little because of this:
The picture on wiki kind of looks like your picture, just slightly less silverish. It could be a totally new species, but still part of the the genus.
Edit: Cowami hit the jackpot. Before I found that page. I was about to post it too.
If I'm not mistaken, Florida matches the climate description.Wiki wrote:
These are well distributed throughout the world, and most countries in temperate or warmer climates have one or more species, which look similar.
