as many as you wish to imagine.. as i guess combining anything with a certain cheese.. would make it a new cheese in its own right!

Well, In France they say that they can eat one kind of (french, I guess) cheese every day of the year without repeating the variety, so, at least 366. Add all the cheese types from other countries of Europe, add the American ones for the sake of making the number higher, and you'll have at least 600 varieties.

I heard of a french type of cheese that required as an ingredient the urine of a young woman. Anyone know if there's any truth to that....?

A likely story. I know of a Greek cheese that needs to be made by a man who has slept with all three (super hawt) daughters from the same family, spent a night on their yacht and then made the cheese in hour-on / hour-off shifts, with the daughters taking up the hours off shifts. Anyway, it was something like that. And the cheese tasted like crap anyway. I guess it's the journey that counts, not the destination.

There's a cheese from Sicily I think that's made with maggots.

I don't know about maggots. but for the ones that said they never found a cheese they didn't like it, I dare them to try this one.
(It is not out of date, just in case you are wondering. It is called cabrales, the monster of raw blue cheese. I have never tried it.
And I don't know about urinating in the cheese-to-be mix, but my parents told me that in their little village where they were born, some people used to urinate in the grape juice they use to make wine. I don't know if it is true or is a deterrant to visit their cellars and drink their wine.
EDIT: oh, and about the question of how many varieties exist, I was reading the link about cabrales I posted above. Check this sentence:
So, same as the french, we can also say in Spain that we can eat one kind of cheese every day of the year without repeating variety.

I found the name of the cheese. It's casu marzu.
