From Geohashing
Date used in xkcd 426 which kicked off geohashing as a public sport. This date was the 109th anniversary of the first Dow index, perhaps a market opening. Why 2005, since the comic was published in 2008? Nobody seems to know except user:xkcd/user:Randall and maybe some privileged others, but they are keeping their secrets.
