apparently i was wrong with the math as pointed also by boyd, however, I
found my ill-explained analogy (much better phrased) on wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_expansion_of_space
in my reply i tried to explain "Ant on a balloon model" which you can
search for on that page.
Sorry, for not getting the explanation right the first time. I guess
wikipedia does a much better job explaining that subject.
