    [Serious] "Feed Headlines" Gadget getting feeds out of nowhere!

    I was just fiddling around with gadgets today. I added the "Feed Headlines" gadget to my desktop sidebar. To my surprise it started getting feeds, even though I was not connected to the internet. I was expecting it to show some message like "internet not connected" or something similar.

    How could this be possible?
    Or is it reading some cache instead of directly getting it from the internet??

    I have never used this gadget. So it is unlikely that this gadget itself has built some cache from earlier runs.
