If you accidentally cut a worm in half, and i know its happened to almost all of us at some time, well we all know you get two worms. But what if I cut my pet worm into12 bits. Would I get 12 seperate worms and if so would they all be Brothers or sisters...???

An earthworm consists of several different parts. If you cut it down the middle, you will have 2 different worms. I am reasonably sure that the half with the anus will die. But either way, it will grow back.
If you cut a worm into twelve different pieces, there will be no way for it to regenerate, especially if you cut one of it's five hearts (just past the mouth). The worm will die.
As to the last post's question, worms are hermaphrodites. They have both testicles and ovaries. The sex organs are about an inch down the mouth side of a full grown worm.

Worms can grow a new tail, but not grow a new head if they are cut off.
Baby worms are not born. They hatch from cocoons smaller than a grain of rice.

Depends on what worm you're cutting.
Only annelids ( earthworms, leeches) can survive being cut in half.
And please note, I said SURVIVE. Worms do not multiply by cutting themselves in two. When you cut a worm in two, the part containing the Clitellum survives. The other part dies.
If you cut your worm in twelve, only one part will survive. That is, if you didn't dissect the clitellum as well.
