Conjoined twins (or "Siamese twins") are monozygotic twins whose bodies are joined together at birth. This occurs where the single zygote of MZ twins fails to separate completely, and the zygote starts to split after day 13 following fertilization. This condition occurs in about 1 in 50,000 human pregnancies. Most conjoined twins are now evaluated for surgery to attempt to separate them into separate functional bodies. The degree of difficulty rises if a vital organ or structure is shared between twins, such as brain, heart or liver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin#Conjoined_twins

If your a twin do you have the same finger prints?
No you do not have the same print as your twin. Every single human being on Earth has a different print. But it is good to have different fingerprints. That's how some people can tell twins apart. No twins or anybody for that matter have the same prints. But identical twins do have the same DNA ( doxyribo Nucleic Acid )

Is it more likey for a fraternal twin to give birth to a set of fraternal twins than to just one baby?
The same as anyone else, unless his partner has a history of twins in her family. Twins are a result of the ovum (egg) splitting after fertilisation (identical twins), or the release of two eggs during ovulation (fraternal twins). It has no bearing on the male contribution to fertilisation (being the sperm).
