I've heard about bitcoin ~2 years ago, more in terms of "pyramid scheme" warning though. Then I forgot it. Then 6 months ago when I had some $$$ which needed to be put somewhere else than sitting alone in the bank account, BTC popped up to my mind again.
I heard about them a couple years ago and was in reference to silk road. Brushed them off and didn't even think about it unfortunately. Heard again at the beginning of 2013 and didn't buy my first until May sadly, I soo nearly got a few in January. That bothered me for a while until the recent climb!

Four months ago. 
some weeks ago!
Way too late, a few months ago 
I was aware of Bitcoin probably going back as far as late 2009, early 2010. I finished by thesis in Anthropology last year on Makerspaces/Transhumanist movement and I was very close to writing it on Bitcoin, as one of my committee members works in the anthropology of central banking.
I am kick-kick-kicking myself that I didn't invest a year ago. Because I knew was it was and I knew the potential it had.
I literally just bought it. Ah well, at least there's an opportunity once or twice a decade, if you have the foresight.

You should have someone cut off your legs and have them use your legs to kick you in the butt many times over, because they were going for less than a penny back then, it was like how many hundreds of BTC for a penny, not how many hundreds of dollars for a BTC.
I first heard about it sometime in 2011, I think it was on the freetalklive.com fourms.

I was talking to a coworker on my software team about currency manipulation and howto profit from it and he said theres an upcoming ecurrency I should check out but dont invest because its too volatile. It was around $50 then and I switched from Forex where I actively participated in the ForexFactory board and told them to switch to bitcoin and got laughed at. However as price jumped in April I decided to take the plunge when prices dropped.. however by the time my wire went thru and I was verified with documents which took an extra long time since I had to renew my passport and update bitstamp with the new passport I had to settle for $120 to buy... could have waited as price dipped below to $60 weeks after. Anyways I dont bother with Forex anymore its really gambling over there but it helped me learn how to identify opportunities by looking at charts. That gift will help me for sure in the future here.
Never, at least not yet
We heard about it early of this year, 2013; in February-March-ish. It was from our neighbor. My wife and I never took him serious because his wife left him and took away his kids so we thought he was having mental issues.
He discussed almost everything related to this bitcoin. At the end we forgot about it.
In October going to work, UK, I picked up a paper call 'Metro', and it says where I guy bought bitcoins, forgot about it for few years, and now he cash it for about £500k~. Then I took it very seriously and planning on creating a platform for buy/selling bitcoins

Early 2011 or 2012, I'm not quite sure. Just wish that I started using it earlier than I did :/
I learned about Bitcoin late in 2012...
in Feb 2013 I decided I wanted to buy some...
I thought it was a huge hassle to buy from an exchange so I went to CL...
I found a guy in my area who said he would meet me and sell me BTC for $20 each (they were around 17 USD at that time)...
After emailing back and forth he eventually flaked out we never met...
I could have been someone...

In December 2012.
First heard about bitcoin over 2 years ago when I was fooling around in the deep web using the tor browser. Completely ignored it. Having lots of regrets now.
Got my first bitcoin address when I found deep web.
Added bitcoins to it when Silk Road got seized.
