"Them" actually - this is a form of conjoined (Siamese) twins called 'dicephalus.' Here is an (incomplete) site about an American dicephalus: http://members.tripod.com/~midnightwill/twins.html This gives a simplified overview of conjoined twins (which should have been 'identical,' but because of the timing of the embryo split, formed incompletely-separated ones) and includes a short list of well-known pairs in the past several centuries: http://www.twinstuff.com/conjoined.htm Compared to 'normal' babies/twins, their survival is greatly reduced; without advanced medical care at delivery, the mother is also in greater danger.
