Just to give an idea of how many proofs there are (and can be), I went to high school with a girl who found a previously unpublished method of proving the Pythagorean Theorem around 2002. I think we intuitively know that PT is a sort of fundamental theorem for a huge number of different fields and the number of proofs reflects the number of different areas that it constrains.
