3. The stated reason that it will be impossible to ever create a "Perpetual Motion" device is to to energy lost through friction. That said, won't some genius one day discover how to harness the power of friction?

Not to ruin Science Sunday with, you know, science, but there is a more fundamental problem with perpetual motion than friction. Its called entropy. Moxy Fruvous has a song about it and its why all living things eventually die and why the band Weezer sucks these days.
That sultry bitch, Thermodynamics demands that whenever energy changes form it looses quality. Thus, while total energy is conserved (as per the first law), the usefulness of that energy is constantly decreasing as the wondrous universe we inhabit progresses slowly yet, inevitably towards the tepid uniformity of heat death. Happy new year!
